2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Old Dominion at #282 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -2.8 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #272 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 34% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

Old Dominion finished 2025-26 at 11-21, ranked #272 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 101.9 and adjusted defense of 115.2 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Old Dominion
Old Dominion's power rating of -2.8 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of -2.8 means Old Dominion projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 2 points on a typical night.
